NOTICE OF THE DISSOLUTION
OF THE POSNER CENTER OF
JUSTICE FOR PRO SE'S

The Board of Directors of the Posner Center of Justice for Pro Se's Nonprofit Corporation dissolved the Posner Center on July 23, 2019.

The stated reason for the Posner Center's dissolution is that the Center was receiving many more requests for assistance from pro se litigants than it could handle. The mismatch was something on the order of 100 requests for assistance for every Center staff member.

Since the lawyers and non-lawyers of the Posner Center were assisting the pro se litigants free of charge, perhaps it was inevitable that the demand would greatly exceed the supply. Thus, this experiment in assisting pro se litigants with their ongoing court cases has sadly come to an end.
